It will run and print but nearly all of the other features are for WinDoze only.
I’ve had this printer for some years! When I used it on my old Dell with Windows XP, it work fine except that the ink dries out too quickly. They cost a fortune to replace. They are impossible to refill, but however, if you take them to Walgreens and have the refill them, then you can save a few dollars. However, if the sponge inside the cartridges are dried out, then refilling them are impossible.
Secondly, once I got my new pc with Windows Vista, the printer drivers want install and the pc isn’t recognized thru Vista unless you unplug th USB cord or unplug the power cord and then reconnects it. I’m looking for a new printer now. The new drivers from http://www.lexmark.com, don’t solve the problem.
Have bought 1, and been given 2 of these “inexpensive” printers.
The scanning of pictures works great.
The printer prints fine, but yes it has issues.
The ink does go quickly, and the paper does have
a problem with the feeder. If you have the patience,
just give it some help and it will work fine.
On the ink refill issue, I take it to a place
that does it for me. Overall, not a bad deal.
The software for this printer does NOT work with Vista. Even when you download the Vista drivers from the website, it still won’t work. To top it off, their customer support directed me to install a clean patch for the second attempt at reinstalling this, and the patch corrupted the driver on my DVD drive! That’s another thing, their tech support is very bad. They just kept redirecting me to the same steps without really taking the time to assess the problems I detailed in my emails to them. Finally just bought a new printer.
P.S. It never could print photos satisfactorily. Everything came out darker, even after the troubleshooting steps were taken.
I bought this garbage thinking that I was getting a good multi-tasking machine, boy was I wrong. After using this for a few days (less than a week) it wouldn’t print because the ink cartridge had dried out. After replacing the cartridge ($27.00) I got a few more days of use before that cartridge dried out too. I actually replaced the cartridge on this maching 5 times in 6 months and I only use this maybe twice a week (printing directions, etc.). The printer is very noisy, almost sounds as if it’s broken when scanning and printing. Stay away from this garbage, I’ve had better print jobs with those $19.00 printers that only print!!!
